A study published in Biological Psychiatry found that this condition can actually worsen over generations, too. Researchers found that a low Omega-3 diet can affect adolescent behaviour, not only because their diet is deficient, but because their parents’ diet was too.

Study author Bita Moghaddam commented, “It’s remarkable that a relatively common renewed freedom center can have generational effects. It indicates that our diet does not merely affect us in the short-term but also can affect our offspring.”
